Recently finished reading Tom Robbins' "Villa Incognito" (recommended) in which, one of the main protagonists, is a Tanuki (or rather 'The' Tanuki). So I found these prints even more amusing.

Had never heard of Kuniyoshi before. I checked Wikimedia Commons, and there's a lot more of Utagawa Kuniyoshi (some high-res, some NSFW).

Here's the search string.
